HR vs. Spirit at StarSeries Season 2 Predictions

Damn, I haven’t seen HellRaisers play in a while, in fact their last match was over 45 days ago, that’s a pretty long break if you ask me, either way, they lost oskar who was their best player and basically carried them most of the time, they will use smike instead and that’s a massive downgrade, he’s definitely not a terrible player, but not very good either. HellRaisers still have a very strong lineup full of experienced players so keep that in mind. I don’t think HR’s results matter here, their last match was played almost 2 months ago so let’s just focus on Spirit instead.

Spirit improved a lot recently, they are still extremely inconsistent but the recent weeks went very well for their team, they absolutely demolished teams like DenDD, Alternate and Preparation, also won a couple of matches against stronger teams such as ENCE and Kinguin, so pretty impressive wins here and there, however Spirit also kept losing to weaker teams, they got 2-0’d by Millenium and Pride, barely beat DarkPassage which is a pretty bad team and got wrecked by Team X, not surprising as Team X is probably the best team they’ve played in a while, but still.

So basically I have that feeling that Spirit will take it, but HellRaisers didn’t play for so long and who knows what they were doing for all that time, maybe they practiced a ton and will stomp today, maybe they just kept playing FPL like they always do, no freaking idea. Either way, I will stick to my small bet on Spirit as they’ve been getting very promising results lately.

We have not seen HR in a long long time and it is hard to know exactly what to expect from them coming into this. They are a lot weaker without oskar, and their T sides were really poor even with him getting 1-2 kills a round so how they will do now will be interesting. Smike is not a bad player but is clearly a massive downgrade. Spirit are a side that are impossible to predict. One game they look really strong and the next incredibly weak. I do think that HR have the more skilled players in some respects, but with the massive downgrade and inactivity they seem to be having, under 50% you really have to go on Spirit.
